omitav 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Hi gurus's, I need some help with a phone that i'm trying to get working. It's a BB 8130, flashed from sprint to ril, ril prl loaded, meid is also registered with ril now. the phone sees the network and i get a good signal. but the moment i dial *228 it says call failed but if i dial *225 then i get the relaince message asking me to contact cust care for resuming service. is this normal? i went to the web world and they told me that they cannot activate the handset since *228 is not working :-( what do i need to do to get this working? any help is highly appreciated!

Genius 817 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 IT happiness most of time - best is to manually enter MIN ##SPC - send and then edit MIN 2nd on the row Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omitav 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks Genius, I got a new MIN and did ##spc on the phone, the first line is mdn so I put the mobile number there' while the second line is IMSI. What should I put there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rawda 8 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 MIN Number U have? Activate the phone on another Mobile and get MIn and put it on second place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omitav 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) oops sorry, i meant that I got an MDN number and put that there. but that is a good idea - to activate on another handset and use the min here. let me try that. and just to make sure - I need to put the MIN number in the IMSI field? (that's what the second line says on the BB) Edited February 2, 2013 by omitav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omitav 2 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 Here's my update (hope it's not as confusing as my earlier posts :-)) - i tried activating my new MDN from 3 different phones (2030, 3100 and a 2340) and neither of them worked - after dialing *228, i can only get as far as the language selection. After selecting language i get the "your phone cannot be activated" message :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omitav 2 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 Can any kind soul guide on on how to get the MIN number please? Long story short - I have a new MDN but it just won't activate on any handset that I have. If there's any other way to activate a LG2030 that I have (apart from *228 or *228001) then I could take it from there. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
